Haven, o." For Business.
WEST POINT, N. Y, June 11.-Sixty-
four cadets were graduated from the
United States military academy this
morning. AS usual wnen the weather
is fair, the exercises were under the
trees in front of the library. Gen. Sher-
idan was the chief dignitary present;
for all that Gen. Sherman was even
greater center of attraction. Sherman
was at the post for two or three days;
Sheridan arrived last evening. The
battalion was called out, and it welcomed
him as he appeared on the plain and
escorted him to Gen. Merritt's residence,
the right wing marching in front and
the left wing behind his carriage, while
the band played and the battery belched
forth the regular salute. Half an hour
later, at 6 O'Clock, he received the bat
talon. The members of the graduating
class were very busy this morning set
tling their accounts with the treasurer,
packing trunks and exchanging farewell
greetings. At 10 o'clock the long roll
call brought them in ranks, and they
marched to the appointed place under
the canopy. The graduating class occu-
pied the place of honor, and their COM
rades took seats behind them. Gen.
McIIltG, SUPERINTENDENT Ol JIlo posi-,
presided. Chaplain Postlewaite offered
prayer, all the cadets standing
meanwhile. After the band had
played a national air the
Rev. John w. Brown, DID,, of Buffalo,
delivered an address on behalf of the
board of visitors. His theme was ''Char-
acter and Duty" Gen. Sherman was
the next speaker. He talked in
humorous vein. He started out by
making an apology for reading his
speech. He said he never had read one
before. He pulled out big roll of man
uscript and began to read. He had not
read five lines before he looked up and
began to tell funny story-and that
was the last of the manuscript. He
threw it aside aud never referred to
it again. He said occasions like this
always made him humorous. He
laughed to see how wise and dignifed
these young fellows looked, as though
each of their heads contained all the
military knowledge in the world.
''What glorions confidence; what mag
nificent innocence" he exclaimed. The
roar of laughter that greeted this made
the old general forget all about his
written address and he struck out into
one of his characteristic speeches, which
was frequently punctuated by hearty
laughter and applause by the audience.
Gen. Sheridan was the last speaker. He
welcomed the graduates into the ranks

THE NEW CRUISERS.
No One Seems Anxious to Build
Them. .

Them.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 1.-THE
backwardness of shipbuilders in apply
ing for information as to the plans and
specifications for the new navy cruisers
is causing considerable apprehension
among navy officers. Thus far there
has been but one inquiry for iufor-
nation about the plans for the 19-knot
cruiserS-that of the Union Iron works
of San Francisco. 1t is not certain,
however. that they will submit bid
until they have examined the plans in
detail. Not an inquiry has yet been re-
ceived as to the Newark, and there does
not seem to be any disposition on the
part of the shipbuilderS to undertake
her construction at the maximum cost
allowed by cOngreSS-S1, 300, 600. The
1,70O-ton gunboats will probably be
constructed by Camp IL Son, of Phila-
delphia. That firm is now engaged in
the construction of gunbOat No. /, and
as was Nos. and 4 are to be of the
same pattern, they will have an ad-
vantage over all other bidders. Their
reason for the backwardness on the
part of bidders is ascribed at the navy
department to the rapidly increasing
cost OF material. There is a large
private demand for steel, and it is said
that the contractors for furnishing the
steel for the vessels now being con-
Structed are anxious to have their plates
rejected, because even after steel has
been rejected by the government in
SpectOrS, it brings bigger price in the
plaEGet than the contract price.

facts-a $4,000 shortage or false re-
port to the governor-either of which
was bad enough and in any case that
amount had been expended without
proper vouchers. He also said Auditor
Ward was acting under his own inter
probation of the law in taxing railroad
real estate as well as earnings, but he
understood Judge Mcconnell had held
similarly in case in Pembina county
and had no doubt justified the course,
though he (Templeton) had not been
called upon for an official opinion.

LAST NIGHTS MEETING.
Striking Carpenters and Brick.
layers Again Make Speeches.


Last nights joint mass meeting of the
striking carpenters and bricklayers was
largely attended Notwithstanding the
rain. The platform was occupied by
officers of the two unions. The first
speaker was Mr.. McDermott. He said,
in opposition of the ground taken by
the contractors that it would recognize
no union, that the labor organizations
were organized under state charters,
while the Contractors association could
not show any charter whatever. He
also said that if one contractor were to
discharge one of his men, that man
could not get employment from any
other contractor in the association.
Mr.. Lucas, of Minneapolis, took the
platform and spoke for some time,
criticising the attitude of the press Of
Minneapolis and this city ON the present
strike. For hundreds of years working
men had failed because they did not
know the tactics of the rich monopolist.
The Younger brothers in Saltwater are
no worse than those who take advantage
OF mems necessity and press their fell
lowmen to the earth. He indulged in
considerable bitterness against mOnOp-
oily, referring to the Standard Oil COM
pany, mOn0polies in railroads, grain
buying, rubber and marble, and he
justified the boycott as thing of ex-
pedience in self defense and self pres
ervation. Public sympathy applied to-
the feeling OF five or six monOpolists who
owned the town. The strike was affecting
pockets OF merchants, even bankers and
everybody. and is responded to by all
other cities. st. Paul, he opined, was
going TO set an example which the en-.
tire Northwest would follow.
President Mcguire announced the.
special meetings of the Trades assem-,
bly, and the council of building trades
to be held tonight and this afternoons
respectively.
William Gaefke thought it unjust;
that government employees should only
work eight hours, while ali outside Of
these positions must work more time. (
He was of the opinion that the summer /;
was better time than winter to strike, !
as the workingmen could live anyway
jim Johnson asked how the Strikers}
were going to try to get arbitration or to-
confer with the contractors when the{
latter didn't recognize the former Or
ganiZation. The contractors have noI
right to command recognition and them
refuse to recognize any other body of
men, he said. President Mcguire took
up the same strain, and said he couldn'ti
and wouldn't appoint any committees
on conference until the contractors de-
cided to recognize the Carpenters
union. He again counseled good order.
William O'Grady and others addresseds
the meeting, Mr.. O'Grady arguing for
the cooperative system and Statingi
that the bricklayers had decided to start
a coop eratiVe association.

BUFFALO, June ia sensation de-
veloped in the typographical conven-
ton during the secret session yester-
day, the particulars of which are slowly
leaking out. When the doors were
opened and the reporters admitted
after secret session, they found the
convention balloting for a secretary
treasurer. This gave rise to the query
what had become of Mr.. Pascoe. Though
every delegate was sworn to secrecy,
there was so much OStentatiouS
mystery that curiosity was challenged,
and every holder of the secret
was overburdened with it. 1t was
learned last night that Mr.. Pascoe had
rendered his resignation, but the reason
for this action was kept profound Sc
cret. This morning, however, it was
learned that shortage had been dis
covered in Mr.. Pascoe'S accounts. The
finance committee had been working ON
the books for some time, and as soon as
they were convinced of shortage they
reported to the convention. What
transpired in the secret session is
known only to the delegates themselves,
but Mr.. Pascoe had
SEVERED HIS CONNECTION
with the executive department of the
union when the doors were reopened.
One delegate said this morning that Mr..
PaScoe evinced no desire to make an eX-
PLANTATION of the muddle, though given
an opportunity to do so. Another said
there was no shortage, only general
mix up of the accounts, occasioned by
an incompetent man trying to keep
set of books without knowing anything
about bookkeeping. The report, he said,
was very incomplete. The Childs-Drexel
fund is said to be about all right. The
finance committee this morning stated
that they had worked all night on the
@9d as ut eHe ts and it WeFH m IN rssure ss gea two
or three days to straighten them. Mr.
Pascoe handled between $1,000 and
$4,000 during the year and was under
a bond of $500. He will leave for
home to-day. The convention again
went into secret session this morning.
